Chapter 426 The Gate of Energy
...
Although there were only more than a hundred people participating in the Holy Land Trial Competition, it still ended for three days. After this competition, thirty young heroes with outstanding strength stood out and became the holy land students in the new year.
Among these people, the lowest level is also the Martial Arts level, such as Dongfang Xue, Xiao Ling'er, Nangong Bo and others, who are within this range. After all, with the strong support of the family, although their strength is not outstanding among the old students, the rare advanced martial arts are incomparable to those old students who live in ordinary families.
Of course, it is not that if you are born in a big family, you are qualified to enter the holy land. Under the harsh and transparent conditions of the selection of holy land, the two young masters of the Tao family and the Gongsun family were unfortunately eliminated and became the laughing stock of the eight major families. However, in this situation, five of the eight major families successfully qualified and became a member of the holy land.
Xu Jie'er, a girl with a mysterious origin, was also noticed by everyone in this competition. Although in terms of record, Xu Jie'er's strength is only at the ninth level innate warrior, during the competition, the strength she burst out was not inferior to those second-level or even third-level martial guards. Such strength made many people begin to pay attention to this lively and cheerful girl.
In addition to the five young heroes in the eight major families, there are also two powerful unknown students. In this way, only seven of the freshmen were among the thirty people, and the twenty-three were all old students who had been admitted to the hospital for one year. From this perspective, this Shangwu Academy is worthy of being a cultivation base for martial arts practitioners, and the talent of educating people is really comparable to that of ordinary colleges.
After the Holy Land selection competition, the new Holy Land Academy was given a few days of rest. After these days, these thirty people appeared in the other courtyards of Shangwu Academy at the same time. Of course, in addition to these thirty people, there was another surprising person, that was Ou Chuyang.
Ou Chuyang's appearance was really strange. When he stood among the thirty people and became the thirty-one person, it immediately caused an uproar in the small team. Among them, some of whom were familiar with the former, Xu Jieer and others were very happy for it, but the appearance of the former also caused quite a lot of criticism.
"Director, this is unfair. We only won this place after a hard battle, but why was he in the team? Moreover, the hospital said that there were only 30 people in the holy land selection this time? What's going on?" A young man about sixteen or seventeen pointed at Ou Chuyang and questioned unangrily. Obviously, Ou Chuyang's appearance made him very unhappy.
In front of the team, Chu Jiangzhuo and several elders and Xu Zhen stood there with a bitter look on his face. Obviously, the former had a headache when facing the students' questions. He knew that this student was originally an old student who had been practicing in the academy for a year, and he had a twin brother. Their strength was not the same, but helpless, his brother met Nangong Bo with strong strength in this selection competition. The result was obvious that his brother lost and lost the qualification to enter the holy land. At that time, the student also strongly begged Chu Jiangzhuo and wanted him to give his brother a chance, but the rules are rules, and the rules set naturally cannot be easily disrupted. Therefore, there was no way, and the student and his brother could only admit defeat. However, now Ou Chuyang's appearance immediately aroused his dissatisfaction.
With the previous questioning of the student, a few people immediately echoed and strongly asked the hospital to give them a reasonable explanation.
Explanation? How to explain?
Looking at the indignant students in front of him, Chu Jiangzhuo could not tell them that the reason why Ou Chuyang was able to enter was because the Lord of Dan Hall had come to express his love, the request of Xu Zhen, the number one strong man in the empire, and the order of the king of the empire, came in through the back door. If you say this, I believe that in less than half a day, the reputation of Shangwu Academy will plummet, which will arouse strong condemnation from the outside world.
Of course, Chu Jiangzhuo was not at a loss because he had already thought of Ou Chuyang's joining, so when the student questioned, Chu Jiangzhuo immediately said in a deep voice: "Don't worry about this, the college has the rules of the college, and these rules will naturally not be changed because of someone."
Chu Jiangzhuo glanced at the students and pointed at Ou Chuyang and said, "The arrival of Ou Chuyang was because he won honors for the Dantang and even the Empire in that battle of the Danjing game, and he suffered a lot of injuries. So I made an exception to let him enter the Holy Land. Because his injuries can only be cured in the Holy Land. Moreover, Ou Chuyang is not one of you. He has been removed from the academy. Now he is only here as a person who has contributed to the Empire, and the Empire made this decision to save his life. In addition, you don't have to accept it. If anyone can become a level 4 alchemist like him, and at a young age, and contribute to the Empire, I believe that the Empire will make an exception to you. Now, do you understand? Who else has any objections can raise it."
Chu Jiangzhuo's scolding added a little internal force, which naturally produced a powerful force of European name when the sound was released. Its function was to shock these young and frivolous students.
Obviously, Chu Jiangzhuo's words played a due role. After he made some statements, the students who had a lot of objections to Ou Chuyang's arrival immediately shut up. Even the student who was provoking the trouble opened his mouth and stopped talking.
Seeing that his words shocked these unannoying students as expected, Chu Jiangzhuo nodded with satisfaction and said loudly: "Since everyone has no objection, you will follow me into the holy land later. However, before this, there are some rules, I want to explain them to you."
When they heard that they could immediately enter the holy land that was highly praised, everyone for practicing. They forgot about Ou Chuyang, their eyes shining brightly, and they looked straight at Chu Jiangzhuo, waiting for his next explanation.
After looking around again, Chu Jiangzhuo cleared his throat and said, "I believe many people already know that the holy land is built in the dark mountains. All I want to say is that you must obey the words of the Holy Land's mentor and elders. There is no violation at all. If there is any violation, even if you are expelled from the holy land, you cannot practice in Shangwu Academy. Remember."
Seeing everyone nodding, Chu Jiangzhuo said with satisfaction: "Entering the holy land to practice is your blessing, and it is also obtained by your hard work. I hope you will practice well in the holy land. Don't let down your parents and family hopes."
"Okay. Come with me now." After saying what he wanted to say, Chu Jiangzhuo waved his hand and headed to the back of the other courtyard first. The thirty-person students in the group hurriedly followed.
"Ou Chuyang, wait."
Ou Chuyang was about to follow him, but at this time, Xu Zhen called him.
Looking back at the old man, Ou Chuyang asked in confusion: "Old Xu, is there anything else?"
When he walked to Ou Chuyang, Xu Zhen smiled slightly, spread his palms flat, and handed them forward, saying, "Haha, because you have made contributions to the empire, His Majesty the King specially gave you the title that day, but you have not yet received the reward and thank you, so the king asked me to hand you this jade plaque. This jade plaque has the function of calmness and tranquility, and you must use it well. Now, you have officially become the viscount of the empire, remember to practice well in the holy land."
After taking the green jade token handed over by Xu Zhen, a coolness suddenly spread from his palm to his body. When the coolness air slowly flowed out in his body, Ou Chuyang felt that the black blood silk poison in his body was slightly depressed. Obviously, the jade token had a slightly suppressing toxic effect.
He looked at Xu Zhen with gratitude. Ou Chuyang did not speak, but nodded, then gave a bow, turned around and chased him along the way Chu Jiangzhuo left.
"Boy, I hope you can get through this level and not just die." Xu Zhen murmured as he looked at Ou Chuyang's departure back.
In front of me is an energy door that leads to nowhere.
The general green color and the same illusory energy gathered, Ou Chuyang stood here, thinking about the scenery in the valley, the gate of the fourth floor of Dantang, the formation world, and everything.
At this time, just as Ou Chuyang's mind was filled with infinite imagination, an old but extremely majestic shout interrupted his thinking.
"This is a portal to the holy land. Everyone follows me in a while, mobilizes all internal energy and protects themselves. Because what we are going to reach is not the inside of the holy land, which is still a distance away from the holy land, and there are also many spiritual beasts spying around at that distance, so be careful."
Chu Jiangzhuo stood outside the green portal, reminding everyone word by word, saying, "But don't worry, I will go over to check the situation for you first. Later, Elder Wu will let you go one by one. With our protection, nothing will happen."
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded with understanding. Then, almost at the same time, a dazzling light burst out from each of the thirty people. Obviously, the students had adjusted their condition to the best.
Seeing that the students were ready, Chu Jiangzhuo nodded with satisfaction, then, his figure swayed and he sank into the illusory energy gate. Then, according to Elder Wu's instructions, everyone entered one after another, and Ou Chuyang, as the one with the lowest strength, naturally reached the last.
When he flashed into the energy gate, a familiar cold feeling spread throughout his body. Then, when Ou Chuyang had no other feelings, his eyes lit up.
As soon as his feet touched the ground, Ou Chuyang's brows subconsciously frowned. Looking around, there was a hazy gray area. Such grayness was not without a trace of light, but Ou Chuyang saw that in front of him, except for the lush plants and the tall mountains around him, the most was the thick black fog filled with the space.
"Is this the dark mountains? It's true." Ou Chuyang said in his heart.
The dark mountains are indeed as their name. The surroundings are covered by a thick layer of black mist. In this area, all the students can feel the mould and smell of very unpleasant rotten smell in the air. Even when they experienced it carefully, all the students were surprised to find that in this area, their breath began to become a little disordered.
Danger! It's definitely a dangerous aura.
What permeates the surroundings is not just the disgusting smell of rotten smell. What shocks everyone’s mind is the breath of wild beasts that are faintly coming from not far away. The feeling is like a person being peeked by countless unjust souls in the dark.
Feeling inspired by this, the students who had just entered this place were immediately alert and were always ready to take action to deal with emergencies.
Seeing everyone's expressions nervous, Chu Jiangzhuo smiled slightly, and then a long roar came from his mouth. This long roar contained a full amount of internal strength and spread out toward the surroundings.
Chu Jiang Zhuo Changxiao had just been released. When the students saw that behind the trees around them, the unknown large number of wild beasts under the rock seemed to have been stimulated, causing some turmoil. Then they fled in panic. After a while, the dangerous aura that tightly locked everyone slowly retreated.
"Huh~"
I don’t know who it was, but I took a long breath, and it seemed that my expression was relaxed and relieved. Then, the students, including Ou Chuyang, realized that their palms were already covered with sweat at some point.
"What a dangerous place." One of the students exclaimed.
Everyone nodded, their faces were cold, and they recalled again when they first stepped into this strange place, cold sweat involuntarily penetrated through their sweat pores. Now, the students only realized how terrifying the gathering place of the rumored spirit beasts on the mainland were.
"Haha. It's okay. This is the only way to the holy land. You must know that if you want to enter the holy land, if you don't have extraordinary strength, you can go deep into the dark mountains from now on. In addition, you can only go through the portal of our college. In order to prevent some sluts from infiltrating from the inside of the college, the college can only set the other end of the portal here. In this way, even if someone can come to the dark mountains through the portal, it is impossible to enter the holy land directly, because there are many guard posts in our holy land in front, and there are dedicated people to guard it, so that it is safe." Seeing that the students' nervous expressions were restored, Chu Jiangzhuo carefully solved the doubts for everyone.
Upon hearing this, the students suddenly realized and nodded. It seemed that Shangwu Academy was famous in the mainland. With this enlightenment, everyone felt that this trip was worthy.
"Okay. Now there are not many. Let me take you to the holy land. Remember, you must remember the route we are taking on the road, because in the future, if you can leave the holy land and go to the outside world to do business, when you come back, you will need to recognize your own way." Chu Jiangzhuo reminded slowly.
After Chu Jiangzhuo finished speaking, he nodded at Elder Wu and then strode forward.
The route to the holy land of the portal is not complicated. Under Chu Jiangzhuo's leadership, he only turned two corners and came to an extremely dense forest. At this time, Chu Jiangzhuo also stopped.
Seeing Chu Jiangzhuo stopping, everyone subconsciously did not continue to move forward. At this time, following Chu Jiangzhuo's gaze, everyone saw that behind the heavy black fog, a huge volume of light was faintly coming out through the black fog.
Chapter completed!
